St. Ann's update- Friday, Mar. 14th, 2008: documentary screening went well
-
a fluctuating audience from 35-45 people came to the Open Door/Our Place drop-in center at noon today to watch the 'right to sleep' documentary Love And Fearlessness. Well received after much dedication to stay focused. Sometimes had to strain to hear, but that didn't deter. Got to give my little hoohaa coach-type thing at the end saying that it didn't matter if I died in jail and everyone just turned their heads and continued contenting themselves with their slavery, at least I won't be a slave.
anyhoo. many people coming up afterwards to give good words. maybe some opportunities as well (as in showing the film in other venues and stuff). That's about it... the documentary is really good, it gets a good spirit across. If you want copies contact Andrew through http://www.loveandfearlessness.com .
k-love you all... We'll see where my tolerance level is... I imagine much energy is being spent on figuring out delay tactics and the like... and I'm pretty sure there are a few people under delusions of 'justifiable rage' that would not mind me with an axe in my spinal cord. To them I say patience and need say no more.

The Open Door/Our Place drop-in centre, is that a soup kitchen where a person can get a free cup of coffee and a free soup, and maybe find second hand clothing?
While I was homeless in Montreal there was a place called the Open Door, it was a soup kitchen, on Atwater street, not far from St.Catherine street.
exactly that.
